Title
Luke Air Force Base 56th Fighter Wing Intergovernmental Agreement (Ordinance S-47107)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Luke Air Force Base 56th Fighter Wing (Luke) for a term of nine years.
Report
Summary
Luke, located in Glendale, Ariz., conducts flight training throughout the Southwest and is located at 14185 W. Falcon St. In 2010, the City and Luke entered into IGA 129687 in which the City agreed to authorize aircraft diverted from Luke to land at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), Phoenix Deer Valley Airport (DVT) and Phoenix Goodyear Airport (GYR). The current IGA is set to expire and included one, five-year extension option. Luke has declined entering into the five-year extension option because they will need a longer overall term. In lieu of entering into the existing option, they have requested to enter into a new IGA that will provide Luke a longer term. The new agreement will continue to authorize diverted Luke aircraft to land at City-owned airports, ensure safety and efficiency through the establishment of procedures for Luke aircraft to operate at a City airport, and establish procedures for Luke to recover its aircraft.
Contract Term
The term will be nine years with no option to renew.
Financial Impact
This is a non-revenue generating IGA. Luke will be responsible for reimbursement of any damage or removal of debris caused by diverted aircraft.
